Programming Channels Before you can scan, you must program the channels within a bank. You can store one frequency per channel, up to 500 channels. These are the banks and their associated channels: Bank Channel Number Bank Channel Number A 1-25 1 251-275 B 26 -50 2 276 - 300 C 51-75 3 301-325 D 76 - 100 4 326 - 350 E 101 - 125 5 351 - 375 F 126 - 150 6 376 - 400 G 151 - 175 7 401 - 425 H 176 - 200 8 426 - 450 I 201 - 225 9 451 - 475 J 226 - 250 0 476 - 500 Auto Sort Each time you store a frequency, the list of scanning frequencies in the bank is automatically sorted by frequency number. This unique Auto Sort feature enables faster scanning. When you manually step through a bank, however, frequencies are sorted according to channel number. Choosing a Programming Method With the BC9000XLT, there are five ways to program a channel: nManually selecting a channel and frequency, using the numeric keypad nUsing the Rotary Tuner to select a channel and frequency nSearching a band to find active frequencies, and then storing them into channels nUsing the Auto Store feature to automatically program channels nTransfer a programmed frequency from another channel 11
Programming By Manual Entry Use these keys : 1. Select a frequency. Example: Program 482.7625 MHz into Channel 1. 2. Pressmto enter the Manual Mode. 3. Enter the channel number, then pressm. 4. Enter the frequency. Then presse. Example: 482.7625 If you make a mistake, press ?twice to erase. 12 COUNT AUX STATUS SCAN SRCMANUAL AUTO PROG SEND ALPHA HOLD LIMIT MEM SHIFT LINEEXT SP PRI TURBO CTCSS DATA BRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT L/O DELAY ATT 12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E A FB GC HD IE JFREQ CHAN LOCKSQUELCH VOLUME OFF BC XLT9000 TWIN TURBOSCANMANUALBRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E Scan and Numeric Keys Bank A ch 22 L/O 000.0000MHz Bank A P ch 1 L/O 000.0000MHz Bank A P ch 1 L/O 482.7625MHz
If an error is made during programming, or if the frequency is out of range, this screen appears. Enter a valid channel or frequency number. If the frequency is stored in another channel, the display will indicate the original channel for that frequency. To program more channels, repeat steps 3 and 4. Presseto store the same frequency into the selected channel. Or, select another channel. Or, press?twice to clear. Programming With the Rotary Tuner Use these controls: 1. Pressmto enter the Manual Mode. OR Press LOCK, then turn the Rotary Tuner. Note:Make sure theLOCKLED is out. 2. PressCHAN, then turn the knob. Example: Channel 52 Turn right to step up through channels, left to step down through channels. Note:The channel selection flashes on the display, indicating that the frequency displayed is not programmed in that channel. 13 Bank A P ch 1 OUT OF BAND Bank A ch 1 DUPLICATE CH 230 COUNT AUX STATUS SCAN SRCMANUAL AUTO PROG SEND ALPHA HOLD LIMIT MEM SHIFT LINEEXT SP PRI TURBO CTCSS DATA BRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT L/O DELAY ATT 12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E A FB GC HD IE JFREQ CHAN LOCKSQUELCH VOLUME OFF BC XLT9000 TWIN TURBOSCANMANUALBRI DIM OFF AM NFM WFM 5KHz 12.5 KHz 25KHz CLR 50KHz HI-CUT12 4 75 8 03 6 9 E FREQ CHAN LOCK Scan, Numeric Keys, and Rotary Tuning Controls Bank B ch 49 L/O 000.0000MHz Bank C ch 52 L/O 000.0000MHz

To program more channels with the Rotary Tuner, repeat steps2-5. Programming with Search The Search feature lets you search for active frequencies in a range you choose and store any or all of those frequencies into channels. For more information about searching, see “The Search Mode, page 29. Use these keys: Note:Be sure to set SQUELCH before you begin a search.
